28 White Slave Traffic AFTER TRADE So you’ve picked up the man of your dreams – or more likely, the man of the moment – either at a venue, under a tree, in a chat room or the sauna. You’ve had sex…now what? Here are 10 handy after-trade tips to keep in mind. After Trade Keep it Clean Sex can be messy, so have towels handy – especially if you’re hosting. Not all of us actually like semen smeared from arsehole to breakfast time, so if you’re at home, offer trade a shower, and join him if it seems right. If you’re doing public sex, a nana pack of tissues won’t go astray. The Exit Gay men have an in-built after-sex flight instinct, but if you want to just run, do it nicely. Easy at a beat or a sauna, not so easy at someone’s home. Make comment on the hallway artwork on your way out, to be polite. If you’re hosting, ask nicely if you can escort him to his car – he should get the message. Don’t Expect Brekkie Don’t travel to trade’s place expecting bed and breakfast. It’s often just sex, no frills (unless you’re into that sort of thing). He has a life, remember, as you do too…or maybe he doesn’t, and if he turns out to be a bunny-boiler, definitely don’t accept any offers. Just the Once, Thanks One-night stands are that for a reason. A heat of the moment need. Often a rematch is disastrous, unless it develops into a ‘buddy’ situation. Just be happy fantasising with the memory if it was a good one, and thank your lucky stars it was a oneoff if it was shocking. The Contact Number Thing If you have swapped contact details, and you do want a second go, do the 24 hours thing before you start filling their inbox again. Remember to always say how much you enjoyed it last time. If he’s willing, then he should reply promptly, at which point, refer to #4 above. Silence = No If your SMS messages and/or emails are unanswered after three days, take the hint. There’s nothing appealing about an electronic stalker. If you’re being stalked, with inboxes full of desperate and psychotic messages from ex-trade, be direct. Polite, but direct, and only become brutal when necessary. Q M A G A Z I N E Meeting in Public What do you do when you see extrade out in public? Whatever you do, be discrete. He may be with friends, boyfriend, parents, wife…as you might be too. Don’t ignore him. Make eye contact at least – we’re good at that, remember – and then risk a little wave, a hello, even a pash. Blowing His Chat Room Cover If you met in a chat room, don’t blag him afterwards, even if it was bad sex. Remember, he can do the same to you. If it was good sex, and you see him in the chat room again, have a quick chat, and either line up a rematch or move on to fresh meat – er, trade. Maintain the Mystery It’s not a good idea to speak too liberally with friends about your sexual conquests. It’s often TMI (too much information), can lead to envy, or destroy others’ fantasies. Keep coy about cock sizes and looseness factors, leave trade with some dignity, and your friends guessing. Thanks However hideous your trade was, regardless of how beautiful, satisfying, disappointing or embarrassing the encounter was, always, always say thank you, even if it’s just an appreciative pat on the bottom. Remember, they’re a person too. And so are you. words: Tim Hunter
